A team of MIT researchers led by William H. Green, the Hoyt Hottel Professor in Chemical Engineering, is developing a technology that allows liquid organic hydrogen carriers (LOHCs) not only to deliver hydrogen to the trucks, but also to store the hydrogen onboard.

MIT researchers have demonstrated that an aircraft with a 5-meter wingspan can sustain steady-level flight using ionic-wind propulsion. The MIT team’s final design resembles a large, lightweight glider. This research was supported, in part, by MIT Lincoln Laboratory Autonomous Systems Line, the Professor Amar G. —Xu et al.

Now, a team of researchers at MIT, the University of Houston, and other institutions have shown that cubic boron arsenide overcomes these two limitations of silicon as a semiconductor material. MIT researchers say cubic boron arsenide is the best semiconductor material ever found, and maybe the best possible one.
